So, we tried it out.
This thread has been unstuck for the last couple days, and obviously its been pretty active. So we tried an experiment. We stuck it back up to see how it would work out. One reply in the three hours it was stuck up.
So what is it? Do you guys skip over the stickies because youve already read what is up there? Were trying to get in to you guys about it, its just something were trying to understand better.
Is there something we could do to encourage you to check the stickies more often? Anything at all, were open to suggestions.

I think the eye can often skim over stickies (a subconscious: Oh, I've read that stuff already). I would unstick it and bump it if it moves off the first page (?)
In most people's minds
Sticky = information
Unstuck = interaction
Excellent thread, and good work balancing highly subjective issues. I think some posters should think about the moral liability their often misguided/incomplete/out-right dangerous (delete as appropriate) advice carries
- "shoot that shit up to get fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked" are the clearest violations on the harm reduction stipulation. At the other end of the scale things like CWE, extractions, poly-drug use are to my mind okay/tolerable and can be informative and interesting - I think at the moment you guys have struck the right balance. The problem is many drug users hate rules and get really wound-up by them, but that's their sssue, not yours - A mod-less forum would turn overnight in to this -
Luckliy it's not, so good job.

PS - Q: 'I've got some eye-drops from my doctor, can I plug them?'

I stickies I go over, fully subconcously, I'm guessing
1) They distract themselved from the rest of the thread but instead of sticking out more they blend in.
2) I figure I've seen everything I need to.
Maybe if they were Big Bold and Bueatiful with colors, like ooragne. Oragne means stop here and take a look to see if you can make usre of this. That's why they use it on construction and detour signs (in the US anyway) ... IDK, that may not work either.

Well if you read them once I'm happy; no one expects you to read daily. At least you know they're there and you can use them when you need to.
Its more about the people who never read them/ have no idea they are there...

Harm Reduction
S-P-S,
I'm a newbie to this site, however nowhere new to drug use/abuse. Been a hope to die heroin addict for 20+ yrs., which of course includes ALL other opiates. But then I got tired of the game. And I too became very involved with
"harm reduction", which not only do I totally believe in and support, but that I also believe is the on-coming "norm", if you will.
Needle exchange is people's first thought I believe, when the words harm reduction are said or read. As you know, that's just the tip of it. Also included are Methadone Clinics, Suboxone, and many more healthy, alternative drug programs that keep one off the streets, away from crime, and able to quit shooting up drugs that who knows WHAT they contain or are cut with. Less abcesses, less diseases, etc.
A pro I'm not. But experienced I hell of am! And I know that after 10 years on a methadone clinic,(which I swear by if it's done correctly), and now on Suboxone (8mg pill a day), I've found out that as long as I can have a reasonable opiate binder in my system, and feel "normal" (ha!), then my life is good today. Thanks for the time, and your reinventing of this thread. I for one
will be here and be paying attention.

personally, every time i check out this forum i suffer it, albeit gladly.
theres a lot of good ideas flying around and shit, but many are too drastic. theres got to be some golden mean here between "facism/stalinism" and a motherfucking human zoo. I like the idea of order over chaos, but this crackdown makes me nervous. call it slippery-slope-thinking, but i doubt im the only one.

^ just remember, the cracking down will not be permanent, its simply just to get people to realize that they need to pay attention to the new guidelines. Once everyones used to it, the environment will get more relaxed.

right.
and executing drug smugglers curbs drug use. remember the SEA crackdowns with death squads, what, about 4 years back? it wasnt permanent, but it was motherfucking atrocious none the less.
[edit] i really do hear you and i want it to work, but i dont believe. i want to believe.
sell me on this crackdown scheme.

For an example, look at how many threads have been closed in the last 2 days. I only had to close 1.
Things are already starting to get better.

I'm absolutely happy with the way OD's moderated.
Infact it's probably one of the most attentively moderated sections of BL.
Bloomin good job I say
Oh, the only way I can think of to get people to use search before posting would be to include a banner at the top of the forum saying such, as then it couldn't be avoided or skimmed over. But I'm completely clueless as to whether this is possible and / or necessary.

i bet if you guys changed the title to 'SPEAK YOUR MIND' or something similar, this thread would really take off. the current title causes narcolepsy.

Just compare how BL is right now, to how it was a few weeks ago. Its already cleaner by leaps and bounds.
Like sixpartseven said, I too have not had to edit/close/report/etc nearly as many threads/posts in the past few days (since the glasnost began) as I did when I first started modding (human zoo era).
